Love him or hate him, or his product, this is definitely one guy that doesn't take shit from anyone..

And when the investigator told McMahon, "I'd prefer you start with answering the question that I asked," McMahon shot back: "I don't care what you prefer. I'm going to answer the question the way I want to answer the question, okay? That's what I'm going to do."

The entire transcript is quite entertaining if you're really really bored and want to sift through 122 pages of dialogue.
 
what i think its cool, and fucked up, about wrestling is how interwoven the characters' real life and their wrestling persona are... scary , when i started reading wiki...
 
I just read the first couple of pages up to the start of the examination, and it's already thick of smartass answers and responses even though they have gotten to the interview yet. Haha, I'll definitely be reading this entire thing. The text is pretty big, so reading 122 pages wouldn't take long at all.
 
A  Repeat the question.  
Q  Have you or anyone at WWE ever made part of a script 
commentary on whether a wrestler or talent had lost weight or is 
smaller than he or she used to be?   
Mr. McDevitt.  I assume the way you phrased the question, you 
mean to his knowledge.  
Mr. Leviss.  Every question I ask you today is to your 
knowledge.   
Mr. McDevitt.  Well, no, you don't phrase them that way.   
You just said, "have you or anybody at WWE."  That's not the 
way you phrase that kind of question if you want to ask that kind 
of question; you say, "have you, or anybody to your knowledge" is 
the way you phrase that question if you're going to ask it, 
Counsel.  
Mr. Leviss.  Mr. McMahon, to save us time today, you can 
assume that every question I ask you today is preceded by "to your 
knowledge."

and people thought can you define"it" was funny. 🙂

 
awesome. It is great to hear about people not taking shit from the bullshit oversight committees. They are always incredibly biased and idiotic. I swear I don't see how half of them actually made it to where they are. Glad to see someone shit on them like they deserve
 
"I'm taking great offense to that, because it says to me, basically, that this is sort of a witch hunt kind of like thing. You guys already have the answers before you even ask me the questions. If Congress Waxman says that without even having the opportunity of me to sit down here. ... I think that is stupid, okay? That is out-and-out stupid. ... I would expect an apology, and I am going to ask for one, just for the record, from Congressman Waxman."

Awesome.
 
On a radio interview in my area: Mcmahon "I play a rich guy on the show thats not really me... I'm wAAAAAAAAAYYYYYY richer in real life"
 
I just read the first 20 pages, but it's pretty funny stuff for an official government interview. They should turn it into a movie: "My Cousin Vinny 2" 😛
 
You can't have en empire as large as WWE and be a stupid person. He has good lawyers and he is smart when it comes to things like this obviously. It's good that he doesn't take crap from Congress. :thumbsup: to Vince McMahon.
 
Q Some witnesses have told the committee that they believe WWE's current business model requires talent that is willing to use teroids and illegal drugs.
   
How do you respond to that opinion?
   
Mr. McDevitt.  Wait a minute.  How do we respond to witnesses we haven't heard and that you're telling us say things?  We don't.
  
Mr. Leviss.  How do you respond to the opinion that I have just described to you?
   
Mr. McDevitt.  Who rendered the opinion?
   
Mr. Leviss.  I just rendered the opinion --
   
Mr. McDevitt.  No.  No.  I just who rendered that opinion so he can comment on their opinion?
 

.....

Q Mr. McMahon do you have any idea why somebody would tell us something like that?
  
A Yes, I do.
  
Q Okay.  Can you share it with us?
  
A Insanity.

GOLD.. absolute gold. I would pay to watch the video.
 
i'm a bit stunned at how vince and his party can respond to the questions in such a way... if this happened in every trial they'd never end
 
He is pretty intense. A good (well, used to be great) friend of mine was fucking obsessed with him. She always was about the older guys though (Gandalf even).

This is precisely why some trials take so long.
It was an interview with Vince McMahon, though, not a trial, so it was more relaxed than a formal proceeding.
 
"Look, I've borrowed one of Frank Deford's shoes one night," McMahon said. "He doesn't like me. ... Frank Deford wrote something derogatory. But, you know, he has no sense of humor and he doesn't like me. We were bowling one night and I borrowed one of his shoes and he never found it. And so he had to walk home in a bowling shoe and one of his others, and he was upset about that I understand. ... I also borrowed one of his wife's shoes, too."

Mr. McMahon. Why is it Republicans are smiling and the Democrats aren't.
Mr. Cohen. You would think it would be the opposite, wouldn't you?



LMAO
 
Q Let's talk about allegations about the use or abuse of steroids and illegal drugs. I'll have a number of questions for you. Before I get to the more detailed questions, I'm interested in your views on the risks of steroids, using steroids or other performance enhancing drugs.
Do you believe that steroids or illegal drugs can cause long-term health risks for their users?

Mr. McDevitt. I object to that. You have a compound question, either steroids or illegal drugs. Could you ask one question at one time?
Illegal drugs covers everything from heroin to cocaine to whatever you want to call it. Would you be specific in your questions please?

BY MR. LEVISS:
Q Do you believe that the use of steroids can cause long-term health risks for users?

Mr. McDevitt. He is not a doctor.

McMahon has some awesome lawyers.
 
Does anyone have a video link to this testimony?
C-Span? C-Span 2? youtube?

I'm hungry and want to just watch the whole thing including their reactions.
